CHips was it called!

 CHiPs (TV Series 1977–1983) - IMDb

A “layover” is a term used to convey the time at an airport spent between connecting flights.   I landed  in Charlotte and was waiting  for 2 hrs for my connection to Las Vegas to go to work.

Chips was a 70-80s series show based on LA Cops.   Miami Vice was an 80’s series based on Miami Cops.  Both were pretty popular shows.

You are not wrong. I have to admit to watching that show as well, Google makes finding this stuff too easy.

As we are talking about CHiPs, what brand of bikes are they riding? It's not american, it's a Japanese bike.. Kawasaki?  I stopped "freezed" the picture a lot of times but i never could see/tell the brand..  They are 4 cyl. and i think Japanese... (the smart thing to ride.. 😉 )

Someone ?

I have a soft spot for Beetles. At least old ones. I learned to drive in one. I still have it, although it needs a lot of love now. My dad bought it new in Germany in 1956. Basically a one owner car

Thanks Guys!  someone in Latvia restored one.. and he bought it in The Netherlands.. and the dutch guy bought in the States..

Patcon, I know you live not too far from me.  If you’re interested in a rust free 1964 Ragtop VW without an engine let me know.   I need to get rid of it because it’s stored at my moms house and she’s sold the property.  The chassis was already repainted and I was going to rebuild it but don’t have space and my wife would kill me if I brought another car here.  She barely tolerated the Z.   I’ve had this car for 20+ years. Probably going to let it got for $800 or less.

That's a great offer! Thanks for that! I better not, I'm too slow already because I have so many projects already
